"This thoughtful, splendidly detailed book traces the long and tangled history of the Constitution from its inception through the Civil War, ending with the Supreme Court’s tragic dashing of Reconstruction era dreams of equality. No other single volume so clearly illuminates the three postwar amendments or offers such a nuanced analysis of the complicated interplay of politics, race, and gender. Skillfully researched and highly readable." Douglas R. Egerton, author of Heirs of an Honored Name: The Decline of the Adams Family and the Rise of Modern America
